Chairman [Brett] The last month has been one of high activity, largely centred around the annual members meeting held on May 27. At the meeting we elected 40 new members of the Foundation, and will be able to announce them as soon as the last acceptance comes in. It has been encouraging to see a number of the new Members introducing themselves, and I hope it is a practice that continues! We also elected a new Board of Directors, welcoming back Rich Bowen and Ross Gardler for another term. Thanks go to Shane Curcuru and Roy Fielding for their service in the last year. The meeting resulted in a number of discussions being kicked off, particularly in relation to the difficulty we had in achieving quorum. There was also a lower voter turnout than the last few years (probably being the first time it was under 50%). There have been several suggestions made including simpler proxies, following up inactive members, and changes to the bylaws. These are all still open to pursue over the coming months, and I suggest we think about having a half-yearly meeting again this November to elect new members and try some incremental improvements. Other discussions this month included clarification of the release policy, and policies regarding the canonical source repository requirements for projects. Those are ongoing, with no need for further board intervention at this point. Below is the report I shared with the Members at the annual meeting. ---- The ASF recently marked its 15th year of incorporation, and I'm pleased to report that the Foundation remains strong and continues growing. Not only do ASF projects impact almost every area of computing, but the Apache License, our CLAs, and our pattern of open, collaborative development continue to influence and see adoption within the wider open source community. Over the last year, we've added 16 new top level projects and retired 4, bringing the total to 146 active projects. In addition to that, there are now 34 podlings in the incubator. From those projects, we've seen a number of major releases in the last year, as well as the usual steady stream of improvements, and the addition of new committers and Project Management Committee members to our expanding community. We again have a healthy slate of new member nominations, and nominations for the Board of Directors, which are promising for the future of the Foundation. The board has functioned well and been well represented in the last year, with directors from a number of different backgrounds within the ASF. Despite often holding quite different opinions, they have consistently worked well together and made forward progress on the things that matter to the Foundation. We have continued to focus on delegating operational responsibilities to the President and associated officers and committees. We have seen the expansion of the Executive Assistant role, started a new relationship with The Linux Foundation to produce ApacheCon, and begun working with Virtual for accounting and other needs. We are now well poised to complete a long-awaited Audit, and to ensure the smooth operation of each aspect of the Foundation going forward. We have also seen a number of changes in executive roles this year, with a new President Ross Gardler, Executive Vice President Rich Bowen, Assistant Secretary James Carman, VP Infrastructure David Nalley and myself in my first term as Chairman. Our particular thanks go to Jim Jagielski, Sam Ruby and Doug Cutting for their prior service in these roles which ensured that the transition was seamless, as well as their long standing and ongoing contributions to the ASF. Our thanks also to Roy Fielding, who is standing down as a director at this meeting. I'd like to thank all of our executive officers and directors for their service over the last year, which they do as volunteers. Finally, our thanks go to all of our sponsors, and to all of the committee members and committers that contribute their time to building great open source software, furthering the ASF's mission. B. President [Ross] Melissa has been doing a great job grabbing loose ends around the foundation, especially in fundraising and ApacheCon EU. I encourage other VPs to request her help wherever appropriate. There is plenty of activity for fundraising. Plans are being made to meet with existing sponsors at OSCON in order to provide them with feedback about what the ASF has been doing with their money and also to understand what level of engagement from the ASF they would like to see moving forwards. Chip Childers is driving forwards an effort to build out a pitch deck for potential new sponsors (with input from a number of other participants). Upayavira has set objectives for fundraising over the coming year and I have identified lines in the full budget that can be cut should this become necessary. It's "business as usual" for brand management, including the continued increase in the number and complexity of requests, Including trademark registration requests. CloudStack PMC has requested a trademark license be granted to an undefined third party to assist in the marketing of the CloudStack project. This proposal is insufficiently detailed to be seriously considered at this point (it does not define who the third party is or what the terms of the license would be). This is a follow on from conversations at ApacheConNA and subsequent engagement with VP Marketing. Whilst neither I nor VP Brand Management are against this idea in principle we need to work more on the details. This is something that VP Marketing is looking into. VP Marketing notes in her report that she intends to focus exclusively on marketing in this fiscal year and is working with VP Fundraising to ensure her role supporting top-tier sponsors is filled. This is a part of the work we have been doing on Fundraising for the last year. We will be looking to Directors to help fill this role with specific directors who are willing to do so taking on relationship management with key sponsors (and potential sponsors). The travel assistance committee have not reported at the time of writing, but have provided a brief status update to me. Applications for Europe TAC funding are open and will close on 20th of July (shortly after speaker selection). Two new TAC members (Jan and Daniel) are helping significantly by providing fresh eyes on TAC materials and processes. We have some good news on the Infrastructure front, but also bad news. The infra team are somewhat stretched with hardware failures and security work. Nevertheless work is progressing on immediate areas of improvement (e.g. monitoring). A big thank you to some of our volunteers who have stepped in to relieve the pressure (especially Jake Farrell who single handedly closed more than 1/3rd of this months closed tickets). This kind of support work is vital to the effectiveness of our infra team. Now for the good news. During an audit of available hardware five relatively new but undocumented machines were discovered. Three have spare capacity. It is expected that this will reduce the infra budget request for this year. In addition to this I have asked VP Infrastructure to provide a more detailed report with respect to where contractors time is being spent in order to assist with future budget planning with respect to how we provide contractor support for our volunteers as well as to explore the potential for short term investments in automation so as to free contractor and volunteer time for other activities. On the subject of budget I have identified potential cuts should the board be uncomfortable with the deficit proposed. However, given that infrastructure will be reducing their budget request and fundraising is gearing up to attract new sponsors I will be recommending the board approve the full budget (with infra reductions). Once I have a revised budget from VP Infra I will circulate the budget, fundraising targets and potential areas for cuts for discussion prior to next month's board meeting. Additionally, please see Attachments 1 through 6. C. Treasurer [Chris] The Treasurer's Office processed the renewal payment for the HALO contract shortly after the last board meeting. The Virtual transition has been going smoothly with Assistant Treasurer attending the phone calls and leading the management of the ASF-Virtual interface. Some highlights: 1. Existing ASF credit cards are being examined and will be issued with our new bank, Citizen's Bank. The President's Office is currently looking at who has credit cards with info from the Treasurer's Office. 2. Virtual is taking over all invoicing and is in coordination with Melissa et al. to understand the schedule for when invoices are sent out. 3. Virtual and Jim have selected an accountant and are moving forward with the retainer fee for the audit. This will likely be the same accountant that will take over 990 duties. 4. We have a new bank account at Citizen's Bank. We still have WFS and are in the transition period, sending over $100K increments totaling ~$500K to Citizen's so that Virtual can use the funds to begin payment. The remainder of our funds in WFS will be transitioned as the account is closed down over the next month or so. 5. The current payables process was discussed and Virtual has concluded that they will adopt/follow our Bills/{received|approved|paid} workflow. Virtual also will take the lead in streamlining invoice payments, to be paid at the end of the month. Ad-hoc payments are possible, with a specific request to treasurer@. 6. Engagement letters to begin the audit have been passed around and signed by Jim who is leading the audit. The letters were reviewed by the President/operations@, by the EA, and by the Treasurer's Office. 7. Virtual is sending a Citizen's Bank token to Chris as of mid-June and it is on its way. 8. Virtual plans to deliver the first expense vs budget report next week, and it will be shared as soon as it is ready. 9. Virtual would like to meet with the President's Office and go through the budget - the meeting is being set up. 10. Virtual is meeting with the ASF auditor on a brief phone call to see what help Virtual can provide. A request by the EA for sponsor payment status was promptly responded to in early June. Payment of the travel costs for an infrastructure meeting was dealt with by the assistant treasurer. Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability Insurance renewal is due and is being handled by the President and the EA, keeping the Treasurer's Office in the loop.

Secretary [Craig] The office of secretary continues to run well. A couple of cases of missed documents were related to tooling issues and the mail server outage but were resolved once the issues were brought up. Tooling for the secretary continues to improve, making the tasks of secretary possible with minimum effort. Many thanks to Sam Ruby for continuing to make significant changes to these tools. A new workflow for member emeritus status was proposed and implemented. In May, 59 iclas, 14 member applications, and two grants were received and filed. E. Executive Vice President [Rich] Now that we're one week out from the end of the CFP, talk proposals are starting to come in. We contacted all PMC chairs to encourage them to get the word out to their dev@ and users@ lists to send in their proposals. It is not yet known how many tracks we'll have at this event - it depends on the submissions we receive. I have been working on preparations for OSCon, so that we might make the most of our time there to speak with existing and potential sponsors. F. Vice Chairman [Greg] No report was submitted.

Unfinished Business 11. New Business 12. Announcements 13. Adjournment Adjourned at 11:30 a.m. (Pacific) ============ ATTACHMENTS: ============ ----------------------------------------- Attachment 1: Report from the Executive Assistant [Melissa Warnkin] Daily monitoring of all email activity (ea@, fundraising@, trademarks@, treasurer@, comdev@, and board@) and following-up with appropriate personnel Fundraising: • Renewals sent; followed up on invoices previously sent • Great month = $185k in renewals received; thank-you emails sent • Completed further paperwork for EMC for Pivotal’s vendor system • Created new tab to track activity with potential sponsors • Created sponsor payment schedule for Virtual • Will be helping to coordinate sponsor meetings at OSCON OSCON: • Submitted application, contract, boilerplate and logo for our booth; furniture and electricity have been ordered • Giveaways have been researched, ordered, and received • Researched flights and hotel; hotel also secured for Upayavira ApacheCon Europe: • In communications with Nick to ramp up for assisting with TAC • Coordinated with Angela to have travel application info put on website and CFP Trademarks: • In communications with Shane wrt how to effectively assist him; will be setting up a call to discuss and will follow-up discussions while at OSCON MISC: • Coordinated travel for the Infra F2F meeting • Coordinated with Michael Strehmann to send stickers to Jan Iversen • Stickers sent to Chip Childers ----------------------------------------- Attachment 2: Report from the VP of Brand Management [Shane Curcuru] The number and complexity of issues coming into trademarks@ and vp-brand@ continues to increase. Several projects have requested registration of their project names; work will start as soon as the mailing list for organizing registration information is available. Beginning work with counsel to redirect the majority of work to the lists rather than private alias. Requesting counsel provide more regular billing as well as report of hours for audit purposes. Worked with counsel on several APACHE registration issues with good success. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 3: Report from the VP of Fundraising [Upayavira] Fundraising has been very active this month. As well as a large set of sponsors who renewed, preparations have started for OSCON. Upayavira will be attending OSCON with the sole purpose of meeting existing and prospective sponsors. Mails have already been sent out to all of our sponsors to see whether meetings can be arranged with those that will be present. Given that, for the first time to our knowledge, the ASF needs to raise more income than it is being offered, Upayavira has prepared a fundraising strategy document that details how he is proposing fundraising be approached. Put simply, this involves identifying a clear story to tell to our existing and prospective sponsors, and then identifying potential 'advocates' who can help is identify prospective sponsors, and help us make the right contacts with them. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 4: Report from the VP of Marketing and Publicity [Sally Khudairi] I. Budget: we closed out the fiscal year on schedule and under budget. All vendor payments were processed on time, thanks to the Treasurer and Operations teams. The HALO Worldwide contract has been renewed and work continues without interruption. II. Fundraising/Branding/Marketing liaison: Sally Khudairi will be focusing exclusively on Marketing & Publicity during this fiscal year and is working with VP Fundraising Upayavira on transitioning out of top-tier Sponsor communications. Following long-term discussions with VP Brand Management Shane Curcuru that were revived in April, Sally developed a template "Powered by Apache" mark that could easily accommodate Apache project logos; this has been forwarded to Shane for his review/approval, with the aim of launching during OSCON if approved. Sally continues to assist Apache CloudStack with project-specific marketing/promotional support. The long-term outreach strategy that can be used by all TLPs in choosing a tactical plan that best suits their specific marketing/visibility needs remains under development. III. Press Releases: the following formal announcements were issued via the newswire service, ASF Foundation Blog, and announce@apache.org: - 03 June 2014 --The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache™ Stratos™ as a Top-Level Project - 30 May 2014 --The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache™ Spark™ v1.0 IV. Informal Announcements: 7 items were tweeted on @TheASF, and 2 on @ApacheCon to promote the CFPs for ApacheCon Europe and CloudStack Communication Conference. The ApacheCon producers continue to upload presentations on "TheApacheFoundation" account on YouTube, including presentations from the CloudStack Collaboration Conference. V. Future Announcements: no formal announcements are planned at present. PMCs wishing to announce major project news, as well as podlings ready to graduate from the Incubator, are welcome to contact Sally at for more information. Kindly provide at least 2-weeks' notice for proper planning and execution. VI. Media Relations: we responded to 6 media requests, and pitched 29 "Apache friendly" journalists under embargo. Sally held a face-to-face press briefing on "hot" Apache projects @@role in the Open Source ecosystem. The ASF received 586 press clips over this time period, vs. last month's clip count of 1,200. We have also begun to monitor and report media hits for CloudStack; the project (searching coverage as "CloudStack", not "Apache CloudStack") has received a total of 917 for this month vs. 1,099 last month. VII. Analyst Relations: we responded to 1 analyst query, and pitched 6 analysts under embargo. Sally is exploring ways to have more formal project briefings with interested analysts (limited by not having client subscriptions), as we have done intermittently in the past. In addition, she is reaching out for possible analyst conference/summit/event presentation where possible. Apache was mentioned in 1 write-up by Gartner, 5 reports by Forrester, 10 write-ups by GigaOM, 1 report by Yankee Group, 5 reports by IDC, and 6 write-ups by 451 Research. VIII. ApacheCon liaison: we have promoted reminders for the CFP for ApacheCon Europe under the usual channels. IX. (Non-ASF) Industry Events and Outreach liaison: Melissa is working with Sally on finalizing signage and promotional material production for the ASF booth at OSCON. Sally is unable to attend OSCON this year: Shane and Upayavira will be participating at the Expo in her stead. Sally is discussing with RedMonk regarding a possible group of Apache-branded DevOps and DataOps events in the UK, and is also creating a tearsheet for distribution at events in Europe. X. Newswire accounts: we have 14 pre-paid press releases with NASDAQ GlobeNewswire through the end of the calendar year, and continue to receive gratis news release distribution by Pressat (UK) with no pre-established termination timeframe. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 5: Report from the VP of Infrastructure [David Nalley] New Karma: ========== * Jake Farrell (jfarrell) was added to root * Andrew Bayer (abayer) was added to infrastructure-interest Finances: ========== Discovered a past due bill from Dell based on Justin Erenkrantz getting collection phone calls. ~$1300 Placed order for 2 servers, totalling nearly $17,000 With help from EA, arranged for travel for a F2F as well as travel for contractor training; thus far that has cost ~$9193 Operations Action Items: ======================== None at the moment Short Term Priorities: ====================== * OSU Hardware failures Work continues on hardware failures at OSUOSL - replacement hardware has been ordered and shipped, work continues on getting it swapped in while minimizing outages. * Outage remediation Much work continues from the action items drawn from the post-mortems. * Builds.a.o We've received a good deal of help from the Jenkins community in finding and dealing with issues. Long Range Priorities: ====================== * Monitoring Circonus has now replaced Nagios as our monitoring system with lots of help from Jan Iversen. While we still have a very long way to go, the system is already proving useful; having alerted us to a number of issues. * Automation Slow progress continues on rolling out configuration management in efforts to make our infrastructure better documented and more easily reconstructed. * Technical Debt We have begun publishing/discussing early drafts of documents around expected service levels as well as a communications plan; which are very early steps in beginning to prioritize work around our technical debt. See: https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/trunk/docs/services/LEVELS.t xt and https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/trunk/docs/vp/comms_plan.txt * Resiliency Discussions around resiliency have started; but are still nascent. General Activity: ================= In the month of May Infra had 194 tickets opened, and closed 158 tickets in Jira. For the month of May, Jake Farrell closed the largest number of tickets with 56. highlights include: * Dealt with emerging DMARC issue and blogged about it at https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/dmarc_filtering_on_lists_that * Rewrote our qmail/ezmlm runbook documentation to bring it up to date. * Raised potential UCB issues with our current organizational usage of committers@. See INFRA-7594 for background. * Dealt with a crop of openssl-related security advisories. * Dealt with two as-of-yet unpublished security vulnerabilities. * Published a blog entry on the mail outage postmortem: https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/mail_outage_post_mortem * Confluence was patched after advance warning from Atlassian before they went public with a security vulnerability. * During the course of compiling an inventory for Virtual and adding in our cost to purchase those units, we discovered that 5 machines were not in our inventory[1]. Three of those machines were either unutilized or underutilized. This will likely reduce some of our expected hardware spend as they were relatively recent purchases. [1]http://apache.org/dev/machines.html * Enabled emails sent from apache.org committer addresses (or any addresses in LDAP) to bypass moderation across all apache.org mailing lists. No changes to SPF records for the foreseeable future. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 6: Report from the Apache Travel Assistance Committee [Gavin McDonald] ----------------------------------------- Attachment 7: Report from the VP of W3C Relations [Andy Seaborne] Nothing to report this month. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 8: Report from the Apache Legal Affairs Committee [Jim Jagielski] Most of the activity the last month has been in discussions related to the legal and ASF-wide policy aspects related to our release process. One interesting "topic" of the discussion is who "owns" the release policy; for the time being, this is still being considered a Legal Affairs discussion, at least. Due to the relatively low-turnout, quorum-wise, of last month's members meeting, there has also been discussion around the reason for a required quorum, how it is (or should be) counted, and the sections of the bylaws which could (or should) be altered to reflect any changes. At present, there are no recommendations to be provided to the board. Overall, there are no issues requiring board attention or concern. ----------------------------------------- Attachment 9: Report from the Apache Security Team Project [Mark Cox] ----------------------------------------- Attachment A: Report from the Apache Abdera Project [Ant Elder] Apache Abdera provides Java implementations of the IETF Atom Syndication Format and Publishing Protocol specifications. Abdera is very quiet. The only activity recently has been around cleaning up the dist areas at the request of infra, and setting up svnpubsub to help with that. While the code is not being actively developed there are still a few PMC members watching the lists so I don't see any problems with keeping on in this quiet state for the time being. The last release was over one year ago, the last commiter / PMC member addition was Nov 2011. No board issues. ----------------------------------------- Attachment B: Report from the Apache Allura Project [Dave Brondsema] Apache Allura is an open source implementation of a software forge, a web site that manages source code repositories, bug reports, discussions, wiki pages, blogs, and more for any number of individual projects. Project Status -------------- Allura graduated to a TLP in March. Development continues at a moderate pace. Community --------- * A quieter month. A few tickets from new users. One (incomplete) patch from a new contributor. * Ongoing tickets & commits from the active developers. * No new committers or PMC members since TLP formation (Mar 2014) Community Objectives -------------------- We would like to find and encourage new contributors to Allura. We also want to explore if other Apache projects would be interested in using Allura. We need to move our tickets from SourceForge to the Allura self-hosted site. Releases -------- Last release was Feb 2014. ----------------------------------------- Attachment C: Report from the Apache Any23 Project [Lewis John McGibbney] Anything To Triples (Any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents. Project Releases The last release of Any23 (1.0) was on 13-May-2014. This was a major release for the project and marks a new direction for the community. Overall Project Activity since last report We are pursuing the initiative to build a Any23-based Firefox extension which we intend to submit to Mozilla for review once finished. It should be noted that we have made recently made progress by engaging with several W3C communities related to Semantic Web initiatives as well as Open Data. The Any23 service located at any23-vm.apache.org (which exposes the Any23 REST API) has been actively evaluated against the test suite residing at http://rdfa.info/test-suite/ and the results openly discussed on a number of mailing lists. It turns our that based on the improvements made to Any23 during the 1.0 development drive we are running at 99.2% compliance, which is pretty awesome. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? How has the community developed since the last report? We accepted and merged a Github pull request from a contributor who has not featured on the mailing lists before. Lewis John McGibbney is exploring the possibility of engaging individuals within NASA JPL and W3C Data on the Web Best Practice WG in Any23. These are early initiatives. Changes to PMC & Committers ----------------------------------------- Attachment D: Report from the Apache APR Project [Jeff Trawick] The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project creates and maintains software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The sub-projects which are released somewhat regularly are APR and APR-util. In addition, the APR-iconv sub-project is commonly used but has not had a release since 2007. Releases -------- APR 1.5.1 was released on April 21, 2014. APR-util 1.5.3 was released on November 18, 2013. Community --------- New PMC members: none The last new PMC member was added in November of 2013. New committers: none The last new committer was added in March of 2013. Seven bugs were opened during the reporting period, with some sort of developer followup (closure or discussion) on fifteen bugs. Mailing list activity has been modest this quarter. The most active topics have been APR 1.5.1 release issues, the new APR 1.6.x branch, and a few potential features. Development ----------- A new 1.6.x branch for APR has been created with a handful of new API features and new memory debugging capabilities. Issues ------ There are no board-level issues at this time. ----------------------------------------- Attachment E: Report from the Apache Archiva Project [Maria Odea Ching] Apache Archiva is an extensible repository management software that helps taking care of your own personal or enterprise-wide build artifact repository. It is the perfect companion for build tools such as Maven, Continuum, and ANT. Releases -------- * Last release was on 18 April 2014 (Archiva 1.3.8) * Archiva 2.0.1 was released on 26 March 2014 Apache Archiva 1.3.8 addressed two security issues: * CVE-2013-2187: Apache Archiva Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability * CVE-2013-2251: Apache Archiva Remote Command Execution Community --------- We have not added any committers or PMC members recently, with the last addition for both groups on 14 Sep 2012. Development ----------- On-going development is now geared towards the release of 2.1.0 with particular enhancements to LDAP support. Issues ------ Resolution for changing the PMC Chair is being voted on and will be submitted to the board once the vote is complete. ----------------------------------------- Attachment F: Report from the Apache Axis Project [Deepal Jayasinghe] The Apache Axis project is responsible for the creation and maintenance of software related to the Axis Web Services frameworks and subsidiary components. Community ========= Isuru Suriarachchi was voted as a PMC member in this quarter. The level of participation is consistent and healthy. Both user and developer mailing lists continue to be active with a fair amount of traffic. Releases ======================== No releases for this quarter. Last releases: Axis2/Java: April 2012 Rampart/Java: April 2012 Sandesha2/Java: April 2012 Axis2 Transports/Java: December 2009 Axis/Java: April 2006 Axis2/C: Apr 2009 Rampart/C: May 2009 Sandesha/C: Oct 2007 Savan/C: May 2007 Axis/C++ 1.x: March 2006 Issues =========================== There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ----------------------------------------- Attachment G: Report from the Apache Bigtop Project [Konstantin Boudnik] Apache Bigtop is a software related to a system for integration, packaging, deployment and validation of a big data management software distribution based on Apache Hadoop. RELEASES * The last release of Apache Bigtop was version 0.7.0, released on Nov 5, 2013 * Bigtop 0.8.0 is the next release scheduled for Q2 of 2014, based on Hadoop 2.3 - release is delayed from originally planned Q1 of 2014 because of the scope of the changes: Hbase signularity release, causing Flume incompatibility. CURRENT ACTIVITY * Development activity continues as can be seen from the following report: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12327429 (since last board report, March 2014) * Bigtop 0.8.0 is the next release the community is working on * Accomodations are made to include HBase 0.98.2 * Spark 0.9.1 is added to the upcoming release * Build system is migrating to the Gradle platform from make * Two project's meetups/hackathons were put together: - at ApacheCon April 7-8, 2014 - June 6,9 2014 COMMUNITY * Jay Vyas has been added as a committer to the project * Andrew Purtell has been added as a member to the PMC * Currently there are: - Total of 115 subscribers to the developer list - Total of 137 subscribers to the user list - Total of 24 subscribers to the announce list - Total of 26 committers - Total of 21 PMC members ISSUES * There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ----------------------------------------- Attachment H: Report from the Apache Bloodhound Project [Gary Martin] Project Description =================== Apache Bloodhound is a software development collaboration tool, including issue tracking, wiki and repository browsing. Issues ====== There are no issues that we believe currently require the board's attention. Releases ======== There have been no releases over the last three months. The last releases were: * apache-bloodhound-0.6 (16th July 2013) * apache-bloodhound-0.7 (23rd August 2013) Community & Development ======================= No new committee members have been added this quarter. The last new committee members to be added joined in January 2013. Unfortunately, Gavin McDonald chose to leave the committee this month citing a lack of time for involvment. Gavin will of course be welcomed back to the committee should he find time again. Bloodhound attracted a number of GSoC student applications, a number of which were considered high enough quality to expect success. We were able to accept three projects and, as in previous mentoring schemes, we have voted to allow the students committer access. Development effort has slowed of late and it is disappointing that we have not been able to create a release in the last few months. This should be rectified fairly shortly. ----------------------------------------- Attachment I: Report from the Apache Buildr Project [Alex Boisvert] ----------------------------------------- Attachment J: Report from the Apache BVal Project [Matt Benson] The Apache BVal project implements the Java EE Bean Validation specification(s) and related extensions, and became a top-level project of the foundation on February 15, 2012. ### Releases ### No new releases. ### Activity ### BVal saw an increase in traffic to its dev@ and user@ mailing lists this quarter. Several of these threads culminated in contributions of code and documentation, some of which have already been adopted. The board may recall the ongoing saga of releasing the Commons Weaver component for use by BVal; we encountered a small setback after Commons Weaver's 1.0 release upon discovering a blocking bug in one of *its* dependencies (exposed by the BVal trunk code). We thus engaged the third Apache community in the chain (Geronimo) with the result that Weaver 1.1 is currently undergoing a release vote. A la Bullwinkle, "This time for sure!" but we expect to have cleared the path to finish BVal 1.0 and 1.1 once this is complete. ### Community ### No changes in community. Last PMC member added Q4 2013 Last committer added Q3 2013 ### Branding ### Nothing to report. ### Legal ### No concerns at present. ### Infrastructure ### Nothing needed at the moment. ----------------------------------------- Attachment K: Report from the Apache Camel Project [Christian Mueller] Apache Camel is a powerful open source integration framework based on known Enterprise Integration Patterns. Project Status -------------- * There are no issues that require the board attention. * The project is healthy, active and stays at a high level. Community --------- * We got 5 new contributors who signed the ICLA. * The community stays at a high level (297 subscribers at dev@; 760 subscribers at users@) * The community is active and questions being answered in short term. * Avg. 607 mails per month on the users mailing list in March 2014 - May 2014 * Avg. 123 mails per month on the dev mailing list in March 2014 - May 2014 * Avg. 290 committs per month in March 2014 - May 2014 Community Objectives -------------------- * We are finalizing Apache Camel 2.14.0 to get it out of the door during the next reporting period. Project Composition ------------------- * Dhiraj Bokde was added as committer (04/23/2014) * Bilgin Ibryam was added as new PMC member (04/24/2014) * Grzegorz Grzybek was added as committer (06/11/2014) * Gregor Zurowski was added as committer (06/11/2014) Releases -------- * 2.13.0 (03/18/2014) * 2.13.1 (05/13/2014) ----------------------------------------- Attachment L: Report from the Apache Cayenne Project [Andrus Adamchik] Apache Cayenne is a Java persistence framework. It takes a distinct approach to object persistence and provides an ORM runtime, remote persistence services, and a GUI mapping/modeling tool. Project Status * Cayenne 3.1 Release Candidate 1 was released on Feb 18. New feature development continues for Cayenne 3.2. One significant new feature added last quarter is a new module for transparent data encryption. * Git migration was completed. Community * Mailing list activity is about average on developer and user lists. * The last PMC member was added in December 2012. * The last committer (Andrew Lindesay) was added in May 2014. ----------------------------------------- Attachment M: Report from the Apache Chemistry Project [Florian Müller] Apache Chemistry is an effort to provide an implementation of the CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services) specification in Java, Python, PHP, .NET, and Objective-C (and possibly other languages). The project has graduated in February 2011. == Project status == Three Apache Chemistry sub-projects published a release this quarter. There is some increased activity around the ObjectiveCMIS project with new contributors and major code changes. The OpenCMIS and cmislib projects received smaller improvements and new features. There are no board-level issues at this time. == Community == New contributors to ObjectiveCMIS. == Releases == Last releases: OpenCMIS 0.11.0 2014-04-14 ObjectiveCMIS 0.3 2014-04-08 DotCMIS 0.6 2014-03-17 cmislib 0.5.1 2012-12-19 ----------------------------------------- Attachment N: Report from the Apache CloudStack Project [Hugo Trippaers] DESCRIPTION Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. ISSUES None CURRENT ACTIVITY * The community is working on the CloudStack 4.4.0 release. In the original planning the release should have been pushed out already. The delay is caused by testers identifying multiple blocking issues. * Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.1.0 was released on May 16 2014. Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey is a CLI tool for interacting with Apache CloudStack and is distributed separate from Apache CloudStack * The community is working with The Linux Foundation to setup the second European CloudStack Collaboration Conference (CCCEU). CCCEU will planned following ApacheCon in Budapest from November 19 till 21. * The Japanese user group is sending activity reports to the mailing-list. This gives the non-Japanese part of the community an insight on what they are doing and promotes cooperation worldwide across language barriers. * Our change in documentation format seems to have significantly improved the workflow for contributions, and we are now seeing an increase in the overall diversity and amount of doc contributions. * The Apache CloudStack PMC has voted in favor of licensing our marks to an external organization dedicated to promoting the Apache CloudStack project and ecosystem. We have forwarded the request for legal support in the drafting of a licensing agreement to VP Brand Management. * The decision above is meant as a complement to foundation and project-level awareness efforts. Several members of the PMC had a call with Sally on Thursday, May 1st, to ensure that she had the necessary background to help with a marketing strategy for the project. We are looking forward to the next steps with Sally on this front. * During ApacheCon, the project had engaged with the Infra team regarding our infrastructure needs for a build environment independent from a single vendor. Since that time, several members of the PMC has been working to pull together a specific proposal to share with Infra. At this point in time, we are still collating quotes and designs into a meaningful proposal. RELEASES Apache CloudStack 4.3.0 was released on March 25, 2014.

Any language and build system are welcomed. Status ------ The project has missed reporting to the board for several months. The last report was back in November 2013. November saw some activity with several issues being resolved in Rat. In December the work of a GSOC student was merged into a branch of our own SVN repository. After that it's been mostly quiet on the mailing lists, apart from questions and requests from other Apache projects. There seems to be an increase in the use of Rat within the ASF. If the current chair continues to remains absent, we will need some guidance from the board on how to proceed. Community --------- The last committer was elected in August, 2012. In September 2013 Phil Ottlinger was elected to join the PMC. Gavin McDonald has expressed that he wants to resign from the PMC, but this request still needs to be processed. Releases -------- No releases since last report. Apache Rat 0.10 was released in September, 2013. Community Objectives -------------------- Release Apache Whisker 0.1 Release Apache Rat 0.11 ----------------------------------------- Attachment R: Report from the Apache cTAKES Project [Pei J Chen] Apache cTAKES (clinical Text Analysis and Knowledge Extraction System) is a natural language processing (NLP) tool for information extraction from electronic medical record clinical free-text. Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. Releases: - ctakes-3.1.0 on 2013-08-30 - ctakes-3.1.1 on 2013-12-05 - ctakes-3.2.0 on 2014-06-21 (tenatively scheduled) Development: The committee is actively working on a release candidate for 3.2.0 tenatively scheduled for end of June. Some of the planned code changes for the upcoming release includes: - Java 7 upgrade - Integrated YTEX (Yale Extensions for Apache cTAKES) from sandbox to cTAKES 3.2.0 release. - New faster/improved dictionary lookup module Key features include storing annotations into an relational db, exporting annotation to data mining toolkits (WEKA, R, Matlab, etc.). - New temporal component for extracting Time and Events. - Various bug fixes and code enhancements tracked by Jira Community: Last Committers/PMC: Murali Nagendranath (2013-10-21) Vijay Garla (2013-11-16) dev mailing list subscribers count: 122 (+19 since last report) user mailing list subscribers count: 105 (+14 since last report) ----------------------------------------- Attachment S: Report from the Apache Curator Project [Jordan Zimmerman] The Apache Curator Java libraries make using Apache ZooKeeper much easier and more reliable. Project Status =========== Since the last report, there have been several successful releases. 2.5.0 is the latest release. Community ======== The Curator community continues to grow. This is a good time to report on how Curator has been integrated in the larger ZooKeeper community. * Curator is a component in other open source projects including Apache Storm, Metamarkets Druid, Apache Drill, Apache Oozie, Apache Spark, Spring SD, and many, many more. * There have been dozens of articles written either about or mentioning Apache Curator. * According to Ohloh, there have been 11 contributors to the project Issues ===== In the last report, it was mentioned that Curator only has 1 active committer. I think this was a bit misleading. Curator has had no problems getting votes for releases. Many people contribute to the development of Curator. The main issue is that stewardship of Curator falls mainly on me (Jordan Zimmerman). The good news is that I've been mentoring others and am very close to getting at least one and possibly two more committers who will be active stewards of Curator. I hope to have this by the next report. ----------------------------------------- Attachment T: Report from the Apache Felix Project [Felix Meschberger] Apache Felix is a project aimed at implementing specifications from the OSGi Alliance as well as implementing other supporting tools and technologies aligned with OSGi technology.

RELEASES -Apache Flex SDK 4.12.0 was released on 3/10/14. -Apache Flex SDK 4.12.1 was released on 5/02/14. -Apache Flex Installer 3.0.0 was also released on 5/02/14. -Apache Flex FlexUnit 4.2.0 was released on 4/15/14. -Apache FlexJS 0.0.1 was released on 4/23/14. -Apache Flex FalconJX 0.0.1 was released on 4/23/14. ACTIVITY Activity in Apache Flex continues to be in two main areas: improvements To the existing Adobe Flash Platform-dependent code base, and FlexJS, a version of Flex that is independent from the Adobe Flash Platform. There is another group working on Maven-related tools for the existing code base, and significant work on the Installer, which can now run a subset of Apache Ant in Adobe AIR without Java or Ant prerequisites. One committer has taken on integrating the multi-threaded debugger support into the development branch. Another committer and a potential Committer are working on TLF Table support. In the past three months we've continued to see: - Continued JIRA activity (more bugs raised than resolved however) - More committers becoming active again. - Fewer new folks contributing and eventually becoming committers. Other highlights: -Two committers gave presentations on Flex at ApacheCon 2014. -Seven committers gave presentations on Flex at the 360|Flex conference. Code Donation Update -Swiz donation is still pending. The donor has not filed the paperwork. -Adobe completed the donation of several Flex-related code bases, including the remaining pieces of BlazeDS, the TourDeFlex sample apps, the FlexPMD Project, the Squiggly spell checker, multi-threaded support in the Debugger, and several popular web articles. COMMUNITY -Piotr Zarzycki and Mihai Chira were added as committers -Carlos Rovira and Christopher Dutz were added to the PMC. -Latest analytics include over 2500 hits per day on the website during the work week (less on weekends). -There were more than 12,000 installs of 4.12.x since its release. -There were more than 300 installs of FlexJS. ----------------------------------------- Attachment V: Report from the Apache Gump Project [Stefan Bodewig] Apache Gump is a cross-project continuous integration server. Gump's intention isn't so much to be a CI server but rather a vehicle that makes people look beyond their project's boundaries and helps the projects to collaborate. Gump is written in Python and supports several build tools and version control systems. The Apache installation of Gump builds ASF as well as non-ASF projects and their dependencies. It started in the Java part of the foundation but also builds projects like APR, HTTPd and XMLUnit.NET. == Summary == Gump seems to create useful results for the few projects that use it. Ant decided to switch from svn to git which might require some real coding work to be done. == Releases == Gump has never done any releases. One reason for this is that the ASF installations of Gump work on the latest code base almost all of the time following its "integrate everything continuously" philosophy. == Activity == Ant migrated most of its codebases from svn to git. When Gump switched to use the git location we had to learn the ASF's https git service was not compatible with git 1.7.x which still is the latest version available as package for Ubuntu 10.04 (which powers vmgump). A self-compiled git 2.0 on vmgump solved the problem. While Gump caught up with the change for Ant itself, the Antlib and Ivy builds are still using the stale svn uris. The Ant project is currently pondering the idea of using git submodules for the Antlibs projects, these are not supported by Gump, yet, which may require some changes in the git integration. == Changes to the Roster == All ASF committers have write access to the metadata that configure the ASF installations. No new committers to the code base, no changes to the PMC. The most recent addition to the PMC was in December 2006 when we added Sander Temme. ----------------------------------------- Attachment W: Report from the Apache Helix Project [Kishore Gopalakrishna] ----------------------------------------- Attachment X: Report from the Apache Hive Project [Carl Steinbach] ----------------------------------------- Attachment Y: Report from the Apache Incubator Project [Roman Shaposhnik] The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. There are currently 34 podlings under incubation. Two new podlings joined the Apache Incubator in May, two podlings graduated. * Community New IPMC members: John D. Ament People who left the IPMC: (none) * New Podlings Optiq Parquet * Graduations Phoenix Stratos The board has motions for the following: (none) * Releases The following releases were made since the last Incubator report: metamodel-4.1.0-RC1-incubating odftoolkit-0.6.1-incubating sentry-1.3.0-incubating slider-0.30-incubating spark-0.8.1-incubating ODF Toolkit's release was approved using the alternative voting process worked out last November/December. We believe that's the first official release in the history of the Foundation that passed with binding votes by non-PMC members. * IP Clearance Cray donated a set of libraries called Hadoop RDF Tools, and a VOTE to accept the tools was called by Rob Vesse. The vote passed by lazy consensus after 72 hours. No objections or points of discussion were raised during the VOTE. * Legal / Trademarks New name for Stratosphere, now Flink. * Infrastructure Apache Podlings affected by ASF mail outage from May 7th through May 10th, and extended recovery period to deliver backlog. * Miscellaneous S4 failed to report this month, and has been generally inactive. It is likely that S4 will be retired, though the PPMC has not voted yet to do so. NPanday failed to report in a previous cycle, but was accidentally dropped from the reporting schedule for this month. NPanday developers and mentors were contacted. In 72 hours nobody was available to report on the project. Given consistent troubles with getting project to report and project mentors MiA, IPMC will look into a resolution. -------------------- Summary of podling reports -------------------- * Still getting started at the Incubator Brooklyn Parquet * Not yet ready to graduate No release: DeviceMap Flink log4cxx2 Wave Community growth: Falcon MRQL Sentry Slider Streams * Ready to graduate Drill Storm * Did not report, expected next month Kalumet S4 NPanday ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Brooklyn DeviceMap Drill Falcon Flink (formerly Stratosphere) log4cxx2 Kalumet MRQL Parquet Sentry Slider Storm Streams Wave ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- Brooklyn Brooklyn is a framework for modeling, monitoring, and managing applications through autonomic blueprints. Brooklyn has been incubating since 2014-05-01. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Migrating fully to Apache infrastructure (mainly concerning open pull requests and issue tracker) 2. Forming a diverse community and PPMC 3. Learning and following "the Apache way" Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No. How has the community developed since the last report? This is our first report; our community remains very similar to the point where we joined the Incubator. How has the project developed since the last report? This is our first report; our project remains very similar to the point where we joined the Incubator. Date of last release: No releases yet under the Incubator. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? No new committers since we joined the Incubator. -------------------- DeviceMap Apache DeviceMap is a data repository containing device information, images and other relevant information for all sorts of mobile devices, e.g. smartphones and tablets. While the focus is initially on that data, APIs will also be created to use and manage it. DeviceMap has been incubating since 2012-01-03. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Grow community. 2. Generate a release. 3. Explore options to allow contributions through a Web based interface/API to add new device specs. 4. Improved support for additional languages/platform (.NET, PHP,...) Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? (None) How has the community developed since the last report? Tangentially, there have been presentations at conferences like JavaLand raised awareness. A Mobile Development MeetUp group in Germany is looking into the code, and where they might contribute. How has the project developed since the last report? Syncing device data with OpenDDR in regular intervals when relevant changes occur. Update of the Java DDR Simple API and other libraries.

Its goal is to efficiently process nested data, scale to 10,000 servers or more and to be able to process petabyes of data and trillions of records in seconds. Drill has been incubating since 2012-08-11. Three Issues to Address in Move to Graduation: 1. Complete the 1.0 feature set (team targets next release and graduation in the month of July) 2. Continue to attract new developers/contributors with a variety of skills and viewpoints 3. Continue the outreach activities to build the early user community for the technology Issues to Call to Attention of PMC or ASF Board: None How community has developed since last report: Community awareness and outreach were strengthened in multiple forums as below * First Apache Drill Hackathon was organized on 4/24. Over 40 participants including members from Visa, Linkedin, Cisco, Hortonworks worked to harden/enhance Drill project. Several new features have been added to Drill product Array reference functions, enhanced Optiq support, Kafka storage plugin, robust testing framework etc * Hive big data think tank meet up on 5/14- Talk by MC Srivas, with ~200 member participation * Open Source Cloud meet up on 4/23 - Talk by Keys Botzum * Apache Conference session on 4/8 - Talk by Neeraja Rentachintala, with ~100 members participation Apache Drill is also showcased at the Hadoop Summit 6/3-6/5 Mailing list discussions: Activity summary for the user mailing list: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-drill-user/ * June to date 6/10: 28 * May 2014, 82 * March 2013, 15 Activity summary for the dev mailing list: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-drill-dev/ * June to date 6/10: 87 (jira focussed discussions were removed from this thread recently) * May 2014, 1183(jira, focused discussions) * April 2014, 772 (jira; focused discussions) For details of code commits, see https://github.com/apache/incubator-drill/graphs/commit-activity (about 300 commits in the past 3 months) 26 contributors have participated in GitHUB code activity; there have been 142 forks. Community Interactions Weekly Drill hangout continues, conducted remotely through Google hangouts Tuesday mornings 10am Pacific Time to keep core developers in contact in realtime despite geographical separation. Community stays in touch through @ApacheDrill Twitter ID, and by postings on various blogs including Apache Drill User http://drill-user.org/ which has had several updates and through international presentations at conferences. Articles Examples of articles or reports on Apache Drill since last report include: * Drill Hackathon summary blog post by Jacques Nadeau * Drill milestone roadmap blog post by Neeraja Rentachintala * Drill code samples by Nitin Bandugula Social Networking @ApacheDrill Twitter entity is active and has grown substantially by 19%, to 887 followers. How project has developed since last report Significant progress is being made on the performance and distributed optimization C++ client API and ODBC driver leveraging the C++ API was built for Drill by a group led by George Chow in Vancouver. The initial drops for the driver are available New functionality has been added to the product namely distributed optimization, join order optimization, Table/view creation, repeated map support, HBase support, expanded SQL support, Text readers, new data types and functions, Session options for query tuning and lot more Nearly ~500 bugs files and ~400 bugs resolved Significant progress on running ANSI standard queries such as TPC-H Significant code drops have been checked in from a number of contributors and committers New docs have been published on Drill wiki (Apache Drill in 10 mins, Working with various data sources and Installing and Running Apache Drill on a cluster) Work toward a Beta milestone is progressing substantially.

June report to the board hasn't been sent on time. -------------------- Falcon Falcon is a data processing and management solution for Hadoop designed for data motion, coordination of data pipelines, lifecycle management, and data discovery. Falcon enables end consumers to quickly onboard their data and its associated processing and management tasks on Hadoop clusters. Falcon has been incubating since 2013-03-27. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Continue to build a broader community 2. Add more committers to the project Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? * No How has the community developed since the last report? * More users & contributors have joined the falcon project and the community continues to grow rapidly * We have had 2 Birds of Feather for Falcon at Hadoop Summit, Europe and USA. There were quite a few registered users How has the project developed since the last report? * 0.5-incubating release candidate is available for vote * Project now has diverse user & contributor base * It appears to be time for the community to start thinking about graduation Date of last release: * 2014-02-03 (0.4-incubating) When were the last committers or PMC members elected? * Two new committers have joined the project on 2014-03-07 Signed-off-by: [X](falcon) Alan Gates [X](falcon) Chris Douglas [ ](falcon) Devaraj Das [ ](falcon) Owen O'Malley -------------------- Flink Flink is an open source system for expressive, declarative, fast, and efficient data analysis. Flink combines the scalability and programming flexibility of distributed MapReduce-like platforms with the efficiency, out- of-core execution, and query optimization capabilities found in parallel databases. Flink has been incubating since 2014-04-14. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Infrastructure setup (git, JIRA, mailing list renaming) 2. Release 3. Build an ASF community Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? The community still "lives" outside the ASF since the infrastructure is not ready. Two new contributors opened pull requests since the last report. How has the project developed since the last report? The community has voted for a new name, so the project is moving away from its old name "Stratosphere" to the new one: "Flink". We are still waiting for Infra to rename the mailing list, to create a JIRA (blocked by the mailing list) and create a Git repository (blocked by the SGA (which we already provided)). We released a new major release (0.5) outside the ASF. Date of last release: 2014-05-31 (no incubator release yet) When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Only initial committers.

Some of the mentors are active on the list and helping community. No visible issues. -------------------- log4cxx2 Logging for C++ log4cxx2 has been incubating since 2013-12-09. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. We probably need to decide what's an acceptable platform/compiler list, sort out any remaining hiccups, and then move towards a release. 2. We need to release 0.11.0 as maintenance release done via ASF 3. We need to make a broader use of the ASF infrastructure (notably the CI, as well as improved management of the Jira site - notably with triaging), and establish a roadmap for the next releases. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? N/A How has the community developed since the last report? No changes in team. How has the project developed since the last report? We are actively supporting the project. Mails suggest that there's work going on in the background by some committers especially regarding the build process, but there hasn't been any notable commit in the last weeks. The current trunk now fixes most of the important outstanding bugs. Date of last release: 2008-04-03 was the official, pre-incubation 0.10.0 Many post-0.10.0 commits exist on trunk which we intend to get out as 0.11.x.

Kalumet has been incubating since 2011-09-20. No report submitted this month. Shepherd/Mentor notes: Justin Mclean (jmclean): Podling may be in a little trouble. Failed to report this month, mailing list traffic and commits at a very low level. A mentor is still active but looks likes like the last release candidate (October 2013) wasn't voted on by the IPMC and a new release candidate hasn't been created. Last report talked about graduation so perhaps they just need some help in getting past the final hurdle? -------------------- MRQL MRQL is a query processing and optimization system for large-scale, distributed data analysis, built on top of Apache Hadoop, Hama, and Spark. MRQL has been incubating since 2013-03-13. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. increase adoption, expand user community, and increase user list activity 2. have at least one more incubator release Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? none How has the community developed since the last report? A new PMC member was elected, Moon Soo Lee. The company DataSayer and the project Zeppelin (zeppelin-project.org) are now using MRQL. How has the project developed since the last report? We have switched to Junit for query testing, instead of evaluating queries from files using plain Java code. New tests were introduced and some bugs were corrected based on these tests. Date of last release: 2013-10-31 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? 2014-04-17 Signed-off-by: [X](mrql) Alan Cabrera [ ](mrql) Anthony Elder [ ](mrql) Alex Karasulu [ ](mrql) Mohammad Nour El-Din -------------------- Parquet Parquet is a columnar storage format for Hadoop. Parquet has been incubating since 2014-05-20 . Three most important issues - Finish bootstrapping project, IP clearance, initial website - Expanding the community and adding new committers - 1st release Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? - None at this time How has the community developed since the last report? - All initial committers have submitted ICLAs and the accounts have been created. The mailing lists have been setup and we are starting to use them for communication. How has the project developed since the last report? - We have setup the incubator status page and are waiting on the final SGA to be sent in to start the code import (INFRA-7782) Date of last release - No releases as of yet. Working through initial IP clearance. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? - N/A, still bootstrapping the project.

S4 has been incubating since 2011-09-26. No report submitted this month. There have been discussions about retiring the podling from the Apache Incubator. -------------------- Sentry Sentry is a highly modular system for providing fine grained role based authorization to both data and metadata stored on an Apache Hadoop cluster. Sentry has been incubating since 2013-08-08. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Grow the Sentry community 2. Add new committers that diversify the project 3. Continue to release at regular intervals Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? The community is growing. A number of new members have started actively contributing to the project. How has the project developed since the last report? The project did its 2nd release from incubation. Thanks to lot of hard work from the release manage Karthik Ramchandran and other community members, version 1.3 was released earlier this month. The db backed policy store feature branch is merged into master. The community is working towards improving that functionality and stabilization. Date of last release: 2014-05-15 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Vamsee Yarlagadda has been added as a committer as announced on Feb 28, 2014. No new PPMC members have been added since the project has entered the incubator.

Slider has been incubating since 2014-04-29. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Podling name search 2. Growing user community 3. Growing and increasing diversity of developer community Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? We're only getting started, and do not have any diversity yet. Our first goal will be to get users, bug reporters and developers. The dev list is up and running -and we do not have any separate user list, so we hope to pull users into coding. The initial release will help to gain awareness, and should bring in users. How has the project developed since the last report? Our main activity has been setting up the incubator-hosted project, JIRA, site, mailing list. etc. The Infra team have been very helpful here. - Making and publishing our site has educated us on site publishing - The initial release has taught us of the release process for incubating projects, and where we need to improve it. We're still trying to get Jenkins building, but that's a matter of handling protobuf-versions on the build machines, rather than infra involvement. We have made our first ASF-hosted release on June 2. This was a source only release; some of the reviewers have made suggestions which will need to be incorporated into the next. We plan to do another release in a few weeks time, and so evolve the project rapidly. Date of last release: 2014-06-02 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? We have only just set up and so the committer and PMC membership is as covered in the incubator proposal.

Storm has been incubating since 2013-09-18. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Community growth 2. Next release 3. Documentation improvements Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? We have added on additional committer and community activity in the mailing lists continues to grow. How has the project developed since the last report? We have held a logo contest and completed the first of two rounds of voting. Final logo selection will take place shortly. We have also established a feature branch for incorporating all the security work done by the engineering team at Yahoo!. Having the option for secure Storm deployments will play a big role in increasing enterprise adoption. We plan on initiating our next release next week in addition to completing the logo contest. Once these two tasks are complete we would like to consider beginning the graduation process.

Streams has been incubating since 2012-11-20. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Growing the community 2. Consolidate codebase and produce a release 3. Continue to implement the Apache way and community decision making Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? There are contributions from new individuals and an increase in new faces on the dev list. How has the project developed since the last report? There has been a significant increase in development and communication on the dev list; but, the community still needs to grow in size and adoption of the Apache Way.

It can be used like email, chat, or a document. Wave has been incubating since 2010-12-04. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Make a release 2. Expand the community 3. Decide on a future path (whether we are continuing?) Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? There has been no major development. A new user reported a regression on master compared to the last release candidate, but overall the project has been very quiet this last quarter. How has the project developed since the last report? Some maintenance work has been committed from new developers, this replaced Socket.IO with Atmosphere. A few other minor fixes for different aspects (gadgets, build system) have been committed.

TLP --- We added one new PMC member in the last quarter: Alan Woodward. We added one new committer in the last quarter: Timothy Potter. Lucene Core and Solr -------------------- Lucene Core is a search-engine toolkit. Solr is a search server built on top of Lucene Core. In the last quarter we made four releases of both Lucene Core and Solr: - 4.7.1 on 2 April 2014 - 4.7.2 on 15 April 2014 - 4.8.0 on 28 April 2014 - 4.8.1 on 20 May 2014 The corresponding Apache Solr Reference Guide was released as PDF version, generated from the Confluence Wiki: - 4.8 on 2 May 2014 The community is very active. Security: There was one security incident reported to the Lucene PMC through security@apache.org on 15 April 2014 against Apache Solr. This incident was resolved because it was not possible to reproduce with the release it was reported against (Solr 4.7.0). The reporter was testing against Solr 4.4.0 and the issue was already fixed in Solr 4.5.0. Open Relevance Project ---------------------- The Open Relevance Project was a project aimed at providing Lucene and others tools for judging the quality of search and machine learning approaches. There were no releases since the project start in 2009, the user mailing list had the last message in Oct 2012, and the last developer mailing list post was in Jul 2013. The Apache Lucene PMC decided in a vote that the sub-project will be discontinued: http://s.apache.org/ETP The mailing lists will be closed, and the website will get a notice about the archiving of the project. The other sub-project-specific infrastructure will be integrated (where applicable, like CWIKI) into the TLP's resources. PyLucene -------- PyLucene is a Python integration of Lucene Java. Development is almost entirely an automated port, so this project will never require a lot of developers. The user community is active. In the last quarter we made two releases of PyLucene: - 4.7.2-1 on 28 April 2014 - 4.8.0-1 on 3 May 2014 ----------------------------------------- Attachment AD: Report from the Apache Lucene.Net Project [Prescott Nasser] Apache Lucene.Net is a port of the Lucene search engine library, written in C# and targeted at .NET runtime users. == Summary == Activity has picked up for the port of 4.3.0, the team is finishing up testing and some contrib packages for additional functionality. It looks like we should be approaching a release soon (closer than last report which had similar language) == Releases == Working toward 4.3.0 == Statistics == Nuget package downloads: Lucene.Net 3.0.3: 69765 Lucene.Net Contrib 3.0.3: 20767 Lucene.Net Contrib Spatial: 2639 Lucene.Net Contrib Spatial.NTS: 732 == Additional Information == The overall health of the community is difficult to quantify - * We have some new names popping up in our developers mailing list, helping us with bug fixes and tweaks, as well as questions regarding our progress * A few of our committers are very active working to finalize the v4 port of Lucene.Net * There have been ~50 new questions tagged as Lucene.Net since March (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/lucene.net?page=1&sort=newest&pages ize=50) Areas needing improvement - * As a group we need to update our documentation / wiki to allow others to easily jump in and contribute - it's difficult to understand the current progress and see what needs to be done as an outsider * A better, more up to date roadmap and better communication with the community Our last PMC Member and Committer was added late 2013 ----------------------------------------- Attachment AE: Report from the Apache MRUnit Project [Brock Noland] I apologize for not having the report ready in time. I will build a report for next months meeting. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AF: Report from the Apache OFBiz Project [Jacopo Cappellato] Apache OFBiz (The Apache Open For Business Project) is an open source enterprise automation software project. By enterprise automation we mean: ERP, CRM, E-Business / E-Commerce, MRP, SCM, CMMS/EAM, and so on. We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. *Releases* * the stabilization of the latest release branch 13.07 is complete now; the first release out of it (13.07.01), initially planned in February has been delayed in order to give to the community enough time to enhance some parts of the system (multi tenant support and other areas); now we are ready to start a new vote that will happen after the completion of the release processes (currently in progress) for the new bug fixes for 12.04 and 11.04 (see next items) * the vote for the release of “Apache OFBiz 12.04.03” is in progress: this is a scheduled bug fix release of the 12.04 branch and will be bundled with the latest version of Tomcat (with fixes for the vulnerabilities announced by the Tomcat community) * we are also working to the release of “Apache OFBiz 11.04.05” in order to bundle a fixed version of Tomcat; this release was initially scheduled in July 2014 and it will be the latest release from the 11.04 branch *Community and Project* * no new committers or PMC members have been added in this quarter; the last committer was Paul Foxworthy (paulfoxworthy), invited in November 2012; the last PMC member was Erwan de Ferrieres (erwan), invited in December 2009 * the PMC is aware of the importance of working with the community in order to encourage new contributors and promote them to committers and PMC members; however we still need some time to discuss and find together the best way to implement the actions to make the PMC and committers group more dynamic; from now on I will include a paragraph to the report with updates about this. * mailing list traffic and commits are lower than in the past years but they are still relevant *Infra/Legal* We have no issues that require Board assistance. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AG: Report from the Apache Olingo Project [Stephan Klevenz] * Briefly describe what your primary software product actually does.

Status =============== There are no outstanding issues requiring board attention. Community =============== Hyunsik Choi, PMC chair, had talks at Hadoop Summit North America 2014 on June 3rd and Big Data Camp 2014 LA on June 14 respectively. Mailng list: * dev@tajo.apache.org: 92 subscribers * user@tajo.apache.org: 30 subscribers Releases =============== We released 0.8.0 in May 1, 2014. 0.8.0 is the second major release including lots of improvements, bugfix, and new features. Currently, we are preparing 0.8.1 minor release, including many bugfix and new minor features. The last committers or PMC members elected =========================================== Last new committer: Alvin Derek Henrick on 2014/05/24. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AX: Report from the Apache Tiles Project [Greg Reddin] Apache Tiles is a free open-sourced templating framework for modern Java applications. Based upon the Composite pattern it is built to simplify the development of user interfaces. The Tiles project continues to move at a slow pace, but work is ongoing. In the last quarter the project has produced several releases including the following: * Tiles-Request 1.0.4 GA * Tiles 3.0.4 GA * Tiles-Request 1.0.5 (Release is ongoing currently and the quality vote is underway.) The same one or two people have been continuing to do much of the development for Tiles. We have not added any new committers or PMC members since 2012. We have put out several requests to the user community to see if we could spark more interest without much success. A patch or two have been submitted, but nothing sustained. The primary user base of the Tiles software appears to be in the Spring community, but it is not clear that many from that community desire to see changes in the software. This state of affairs would tend to keep the development community small, and slow, but still present and active. ----------------------------------------- Attachment AY: Report from the Apache Tomcat Project [Mladen Turk] General: Continued healthy activity across multiple components and responsiveness on both dev and user lists. Issues: The Apache Tomcat PMC continues to monitor the progress of the discussions with Oracle regarding regaining access to the TCKs. After a brief burst of activity at the end of April / beginning of May this appears to have stalled again. Releases: * Apache Tomcat 8.0.4 (not released) * Apache Tomcat 8.0.5 - beta, 2014-03-27 * Apache Tomcat 8.0.6 (not released) * Apache Tomcat 8.0.7 (not released) * Apache Tomcat 8.0.8 - beta, 2014-05-21 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.53 - 2014-03-30 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.54 - 2014-05-22 * Apache Tomcat 6.0.40 (not released) * Apache Tomcat 6.0.41 - 2014-05-23 * Apache Tomcat Connectors 1.2.40 - 2014-04-15 * Apache Tomcat Native 1.1.30 - 2014-04-15 Development: There was lots of development activity on Apache Tomcat 7 and Apache Tomcat 8. Community: There were no changes in community since the last report. A problematic user who persistently (over several years) refused to improve their interactions with the community was unsubscribed from the users list and blocked from resubscribing after all other attempts at addressing the issues failed. Security: * CVE-2014-0075 - Important: Denial of Service It was possible to craft a malformed chunk size as part of a chucked request that enabled an unlimited amount of data to be streamed to the server, bypassing the various size limits enforced on a request. This enabled a denial of service attack. * CVE-2014-0096 - Important: Information disclosure The default servlet allows web applications to define (at multiple levels) an XSLT to be used to format a directory listing. When running under a security manager, the processing of these was not subject to the same constraints as the web application. This enabled a malicious web application to bypass the file access constraints imposed by the security manager via the use of external XML entities. * CVE-2014-0099 - Important: Information disclosure The code used to parse the request content length header did not check for overflow in the result. This exposed a request smuggling vulnerability when Tomcat was located behind a reverse proxy that correctly processed the content length header. * CVE-2014-0119 - Low: Information Disclosure In limited circumstances it was possible for a malicious web application to replace the XML parsers used by Tomcat to process XSLTs for the default servlet, JSP documents, tag library descriptors (TLDs) and tag plugin configuration files. The injected XML parser(s) could then bypass the limits imposed on XML external entities and/or have visibility of the XML files processed for other web applications deployed on the same Tomcat instance. Trademark: Detailed status: https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/pmc/tomcat/trademark-status.txt Registered interest with V.P. Brand in registering Tomcat and Apache Tomcat. Waiting to hear from V.P.

Trunk is still under development for an eventual 3.5.0 release. A couple of important improvements on the way for 3.5.0: - One important new feature in 3.5.0 will be the ability to reconfigure a ZooKeeper ensemble. This feature was discussed a long time in ZOOKEEPER-107 and we have converged and committed it; - We are also focusing on a number of improvements over the code that performs recovery. In particular, we are targeting an implementation that avoids sending and taking unnecessary snapshots, which reduces time to recover in the presence of crashes. Also, the release is supposed to address scalability, jdk7 and openjdk support, maven build/rel, testing and audit logging. There are other various patches we are working on related code cleanup and refactoring. We have released 3.4.6 on March 10, 2014. 3.5.0 release date is not defined yet. No infrastructure issues.
